Arms and tourism shock: Seychelles President Patrick Herminie says the country has received a shipment of arms from Russia to “strengthen national defence,” while also denying reports of buying Russian fuel; he linked Russia ties to tourism too, saying tourist flows fell 40% after Middle East turmoil and flight suspensions, with Aeroflot playing a key role—though it will suspend services until autumn. Tech and youth: Korea University’s 2026 AI & Blockchain Ideathon wrapped up with 60 submissions and 317 students, sponsored by MEXC Ventures. Development finance debate: A new piece argues the world is missing SDG targets and that aid and sustainable funding gaps are widening—raising the stakes for partnerships. Culture on the move: Manhyia Palace Museum and UNESCO Ghana gear up for the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Art Awards on May 13, with eight laureates including a Seychellois artist. Global pop culture: Eurovision buzz is building around Israel’s rivals, with Finland’s fiery violin act and Moldova’s oddball energy in focus.
